Thanks for the photo. I found the same picture on bj.com too. But when you look at for example this: http://backstagewithjon.bonjovi.com/vip and pick “Canada” as location you will see catwalk on the pictures. I know, those are arenas, but still it might be the same for stadiums too, just like on TC tour where it was used in both. Still it’s confusing, but I think even if we asked this question to BJ management now they would probably say “ we don’t know yet” or something like that.

I agree on both things in general. They didn’t use the catwalk as much as they could/should have. But when they did I think it was working great, even for those few songs. So it was not a bad idea, but rather not used properly. The thing is that catwalk helped with the interaction with the crowd, especially the ones who could not afford DC and wanted to see the band close even for a moment. And like Johny says, if there is no catwalk this time, GC is rather pointless and only for the extra money unfortunately.
And I don’t care about the stage at all too. Richie’s stage was absolutely as basic as possible and those shows where one of the finest I’ve seen. It’s always about music first.
